    Been here 5+ times
    Lots to see, easy to run out of time so take a look at what's available in advance to prioritise. If planning to visit several of the Birmingham Museum locations it's worth looking at a membership.

    Great day out but I should have allowed more time to be there, 3 hours nowhere near enough. The fly me to the moon show was very entertaining. Activities for both adults & children fantastic.

    Great place to visit with family . Loads thinks to do and very entertaining outdoor playground. Better book tickets in advance to pay less.

    Really loved "the past" and "the future" floors, very interesting and well described. I have to say I also enjoyed the floor dedicated to children, funny and informative! :)

    Quite expensive - but pay online in advance for 10% discount. Plenty to see. The Science Garden is great hands-on fun!

    Lots to see, something for everyone. Planetarium show quite short, but good for £1.50.

    Lots for the kids to do and explore. Come by train and get 2 for 1 entry.

    If your into big screen? Try this Giant Screen at Millenium Point. But I can say, I Max is better..

    Buy your tickets online for discount and then avoid the queue by swiping your card at the entrance & getting your tickets.

    Museum seems good, and my young daughters are having a great time. Cafe is terrible.

    The designers claimed to have redefined the concept of a science museum, but it's filled with scientific stuff and old stuff just like you'd find in any science museum but in a different order, so...

    For kids only. Expensive, try to get vouchers printed online for a discount.

    Bel museo da visitare a tutte le età ma solo se siete rimasti curiosi come bambini ! Ottima idea di mostrare le macchine in funzione !!! Lovely.
